Answer:

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of mercury = 29.5 g

Initial temperature = 32°C

Final temperature = 161°C

Heat absorbed = 499.2 j

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT  = T2 - T1

ΔT  = 161°C - 32°C

ΔT  = 129 °C

Q = m.c. ΔT

c = Q / m. ΔT

c = 499.2 j / 29.5 g. 129 °C

c =  499.2 j / 3805.5 g. °C

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

A substance with a pH of 10 is how much more basic than a substance with a pH of 2?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.

Which is a substance that could be found in air, water, or soil that is harmful to humans or animals? carbon dioxide fossil fuel
quester [9]
Hi!

The substance that could be found in air, water or soil that is harmful to humans or animals is called pollutant.

Pollutants are the only harmful substances that can be found in these three places. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is commonly found in the air, fossil fuels are found in soil and water and smog is found in the air. Only pollutant can be found in these three places as there are varied in its chemical structure. Common pollutants include Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) which can be found in the air, and Lead, which can be found in water or soil.

Have a nice day!
